A vessel is entering port and has a Pilot conning the vessel. The Master is unsure that the Pilot is taking sufficient action to prevent a collision. What should the Master do?

Correct Answer: Option C — Recommend an alternative action and if not followed relieve the Pilot.

Under Title 46 CFR and navigation safety standards, the Master retains ultimate command responsibility and must intervene, recommend alternatives, and relieve the pilot if safety is compromised.
